About this seminar
From the study of migration – a distinct and well-developed field of research – ‘climate mobilities’ has emerged as a new term to encapsulate a range of experiences linked to the interrelationship between climate change and human movement.
A ‘climate mobilities research agenda’ focuses on drivers and outcomes of migration and the more nuanced practices, motives, and experiences of mobility and immobility. In all its forms, climate mobility is emerging as one of the most complex and pressing puzzles of environmental, climatic and nature-based changes.
Given the spread of disciplines which research on climate mobility must incorporate to comprehensively understand the phenomenon, an urgent challenge is to determine and develop appropriate methodologies – a challenge to which several groups of scholars have now turned. Different disciplines bring their own intrinsic assumptions, making the essential interdisciplinary work difficult. The best techniques to bring necessary scholarly fields together remains an open question.
Please note, a light lunch will be provided, but bring along your drink of choice!
